Teaser Tuesday - February 1

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! 

Maybe Rosaleen had laid traps around the bungalow and I'd tripped a wire, moved a blade of grass out of place, walked through a beam and triggered an alarm in her handbag. She was going to tie me to a bed, break my legs with a sledgehammer, and force me to write her novel.

From The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern

This final line in the quote just made me die laughing, I loved Misery and seeing this reference to it just endeared this book more to me.

Books from my bookshelf:

My reading year is off to a slow start, but I hope to pick up momentum soon.  The great thing about this month is I really enjoyed all the books I read, so I can't complain on that account.

Favorite of the month: Little Princes by Conor Grennan, I just can't say enough about this one.

So how was your reading month?
